Question

Enzymes which transfer electrons are

• A. Hydrolyses
• B. Hydrogenases
• C. Proteases
• D. Transaminases

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Hydrogenases

Enzymes which helps in the transfer of electrons are known as hydrogenases. It catalyzes the reversible oxidation of hydrogen to protons by the loss of electrons. The electron acceptors like oxygen are reduced in this particular reaction while electron donors like ferredoxin are oxidized.

Hydrolyses are the enzyme which catalyzes the splitting of compounds by addition of water.

Proteases hydrolyze the peptide bond.

Transaminase catalyzes aminotransferase reaction between an amino acid and a α-keto acid.

So, the correct answer is option B.
